Data from sea surface temperature and bathythermograph radio messages are utilized in analyzing the thermal change in the Atlantic Ocean during the passage of Hurricane BETSY, 1965. Seven-day average sea surface temperature ...

With recent advances in computer technology, long term (one year) simulation of complicated estuaries with large-scale multi-dimensional (3D) numerical models has become possible. However, these numerical solutions still ...

An alternative method, capable of analyzing changes at individual points in an estuary, as opposed to the global solutions generated by the numerical models, is desirable. This alternative method must also be able to run ...

An alternative method, capable of analyzing changes at individual points in an estuary system, as opposed to the global solutions generated by the numerical model, was developed. A system response approach using input/output ...

Ecological performance of coastal habitat and ecosystem restoration projects is not yet predictable with great certainty. The simple method developed in this paper applies the principles of adaptive management to coastal ...

Sixty-four of the 84 species of cephalopods known to occur in the Gulf of Mexico are described in this report. Seventeen species are reported for the first time from this region, plus four probable new species, among the ...

Galveston Bay's pollution problems are certainly not unique. Similar ones exist in every industrialized country in the world. But the fact that within the Galveston Bay area is the nation's third largest seaport, one of ...
